Blending the music of Soul, Jazz, Blues, and Reggae, the Washington, DC group Three Man Soul Machine puts together a musical gumbo that stretches from Africa and the Caribbean to the U.S. A version of the 21K organ trio, Three Man Soul Machine features Carter Stevens on Organ, Mylie Durham IV on Drums, and Frank Mitchell Jr. on Tenor Saxophone. While Carter Stevens is a relative newcomer to the DC music scene, Mylie and Frank have played with bands including The Funk Ark, The Harry Bells, See-I, and Thievery Corporation.

Latin Backbeats and Funky Organ intertwine with Saxophone riffs to excite the mind and body. Perfect background to party scenes or front and center dance montages promoting commanding and mature brands. Instrumental, Jazz, Jazz-Funk
A bright bird glides by and as you stand in awe of its persistence and melancholy a melody floats by on Saxophone with a light but forceful touch. Atmospheric and present, with a boogaloo backbeat, beautiful chords and interesting leads. Instrumental, Jazz, Jazz-Funk
